HomeSaver Bottom Plate Leg Support

This Leg Support System is a great way to go when installing your bottom plate in a fireplace reline.

It eliminates the difficult task of breaking into the chimney in order to install rods across the chimney to support the plate. The Leg Support System lets you make your installation through the damper area. this system can be used with the bottom plate with 2" collar, or with any of our stock or special order top/bottom plates (each sold separately).

The Leg Support System consists of two 304-alloy stainless tubes, two 1/2" stainless all-thread rods, two stainless nuts, and two tube holders. the rods slide into the tubes and the nuts tighthen to adjust the length of the rod/tube assembly. The rods are 30" in length, and the tubes 24". The maximum recommended leg length is 48". If you need legs shorter than 30", just cut your rods/tubes down to fit.

Two tube holders rivet to the bottom plate. The tubes fit into the holders, and the legs rest solidly on the smoke shelf. A few turns of the adjusting nut and presto - you've got a solid, easily installed bottom plate assembly.

NOTE: for safety's sake, do not allow all of the liner's weight to rest at the bottom. Support your liner on top with a top plate and top clamp or top/bottom support brackets.
